I've done the ZLIB trials and all the other little details in ERROR: The Php Binary coming with... thread, no success. I even tried reverting to the old installation I was upgrading from and it wouldn't upgrade now. The previous versions installer tells me my OS (Centos4.4) isn't detected. Both installers now are saying I have (Centos4.5)... What do I do to get this thing working???

i solve this portion of the problem and got to the mysql part but i quit out because i went to /var/db/ to find out the DB name of the old ISPCONFIG installation and there are NO MORE DBS!!! they are entirely gone!!!!!! how did this update kill off all my data?

[crypted]

Okay forget it, I drank a lot of coffee and fixed it all... LESSON ONE: do not do things when very tired

[till]

Just as hint for everyone who finds this Thread:

The error message above contains the hint what has gone wrong:

REQUIRED module out of date: HTML::Parser

Thie problem affects only CentOS and there only versions < 5.0 and the solution is described in the Release notes of ISPConfig 2.2.13 and has been added to the perfect setup guides:

----------------------------------------
Special note for Users of CentOS 4.x
----------------------------------------

If you do not use ISPConfig on CentOs 4.x, ignore the instructions below!

We also need the module HTML::Parser. We could install the CentOS package perl-HTML-Parser, but this version is too old for the SpamAssassin version that comes with ISPConfig. It would result in the following error message during ISPConfig installation:

REQUIRED module out of date: HTML::Parser

Therefore we must install the latest HTML::Parser using the Perl shell.

Run the following command to start the Perl shell:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

If you run the Perl shell for the first time you will be asked some questions. In most cases the default answers are ok. Because there's no ncftp package for CentOS, the Perl shell cannot find the programs ncftpget and ncftp, and you'll see something like this:

Warning: ncftpget not found in PATH
Where is your ncftpget program? []
Warning: ncftp not found in PATH
Where is your ncftp program? []

It's ok to hit ENTER in both cases.

Please note: If you run a firewall on your system you might have to turn it off while working on the Perl shell in order for the Perl shell to be able to fetch the needed modules without a big delay. You can switch it on afterwards.

Now type in the following command to install the Perl module HTML::Parser:

install HTML::Parser

If the installation is successful, you'll see a line like this at the end:

/usr/bin/make install -- OK

Type

q

afterwards to leave the Perl shell.
